Denver has complete control of being a playoff team at this time. Malone had a quote today that made me think this coach and players are not ready and don't have the mentality to go on a big winning streak(Denver has not won more than 4 games in a row in Malone's 3 year tenure)Two more teams need to fall. Denver plays the clippers again and the timberwolves twice. Spurs also continuing to struggle/really tough schedule. Kawhi has not even practiced, doubt he returns at this point. Denver could win those games and get an edge over those teams....but does anyone really think they will........Denver has dropped important games and not showed up at times.

Interesting quote - I thought it was fairly clear when they entered the season - this was definitely a playoffs season.

It's called backpedaling, he's probably had a bit of experience doing it,,,,

Wow, a 23pt lead down to 10 entering the 4th, sound familiar ????

At first moment I though season is over for Harris. What S.Johnson thinking when doing that dirty move?

Good to see Gary walk off. That’s a play that breaks legs and tears ACLs. Hoping for a dodged bullet

Definitely still worried. But I thought the shin was broken when it first happened, so that’s ruled out with him walk-in off.

Don't tell me I was the only one still doubting with a 26 pt lead in the 3rd period. I still wasn't convinced with an 8 pt lead with 2 minutes to go. But with 8 pts still and just 1 minute left, I believed.

And just ANOTHER fine performance by Chandler, although he did add 8rebs and 5asts, guess he had to do something in 36mins.

Only thing I can see is that nothing is broken and he'll get an MRI today.
